We will use the personal information you have supplied to us and the CRA will provide us with information about you. We shall only perform a “soft” search for your details which is not visible to other lenders so even if you are declined at this stage it won’t be reflected on your credit file.

Public information includes your name, date of birth, address and previous addresses, whether you are on the electoral roll, any county court judgments against you and whether you have been declared bankrupt.

It will also show details of credit card balances and repayments and sometimes bank account balances.

4.4 Carrying out a hard search will allow the lenders to calculate the level of risk of providing credit to you based on the information obtained. Such searches will be recorded on your credit file leaving a footprint and this allows other lenders and organisations to see when and how many times your credit information has been accessed.
